Along the banks of the river
says to ALL: Was one of Those Days.. not Hot not cold... I
enjoyed my solitude .. some Days better then others... as I
moved down along The shores of the river and sat on One of the
Logs...... I looked Out to see The Few fish jump.....it was not
the time for fish to be out and about I guess Maybe due to The
tides Neither coming in or Out.....
I ran My fingers ...both Hands Through The front of my hair
brushing it back and Just holding there for The Moment Lost in
thought.....
"wow" was all I said But why would I say more after all I was
alone.....
with the I stood again and Picked up a rock ...then Threw it out
and smiled as it danced its way across the ripples till it lay
and sank .... I bent and gathered some More doing That all over
again

Along the banks of the river
says to ALL: I needed a spear and if i could be quick enough to
Make One then maybe I could catch me a Fish.... I did chuckle at
That thought....for it had been some time since Last at The Hut
I owned In Ukungu....
I stood and moved soft over the forest floor... My boots so used
to this area...and how to move ...I had no concern for myself
today I had slept well and was happy with myself... I had not
felt Like this in a long time....My direction in life Not what
others planned for me....I reached up and gripped one of the
smaller Branches and tugged On it.... trying to see if it was
straight enough... But that was impossible so I gripped the
small ax handle and pulled the ax off my belt and began to chop
at the Branch …. till it fell it was tall and straight approx
two inches in diameter.. and dragged the branch back to the log
I had been seated on by the river

Along the banks of the river
says to ALL: I lay The branch over a huge rock... and placed my
ax down on the ground for Now and lent back taking In a Deep
Breath Of The clean air...My mind lost in something ...something
I needed to sort and here would do that for me....
On my hip was sheathed a 9 inch double edged blade I removed it
from The sheath... and lay the Branch to The rock.....slowly
Cleaning The small Branches from it leaving it naked of its
Branches. The blade slowly moving Over the length of the
spear.... scraping all the extra bits loose..then Lay the end to
The rock...I started by placing a Pressure cut around the
perimeter of the branch simply applying a heavy pressure while
rotating the knife around the wood......After I had done That I
carved away on the short side..shaving away the wood..the short
end becomes pointed the long end remains flat ...This was Now
done and with the Hilt of my quiver I tap it till the short bit
falls free,,, then I lift it to check it over ...My finger moved
to check on the wood....

Along the banks of the river
says to ALL: Lifting the branch and pushing it against The Base
of the tree I place My booted foot on the rock balancing the
branch and Pushing the end hard against The Base of the
tree..feeling It secure....I rolled My lips together as if
thinking...But I had done This so many times before.. I lay the
quiver across the freshly broken end of the branch resting it
exactly in the middle...I reached Over to get a small thicker
branch and used it to tap on the Blade... as the blade Moved
down in to the sapping it split even and controlled...the blade
moving exactly down The middle cutting the end in half leaving a
slit...then taking the blade out and laying it in the other
direction to make a cross and again tapping the blade in to the
wood....to make another cut....This time making it perpendicular
to the other and making divide in to four sections.
I lifted it to Look it Over making sure The cuts in to the wood
were strong and The wood would hold well enough....I tugged One
of the leather strapping Placed The blade on the rock and began
to wrap the leather cord round the sapping about 16 inches from
the end and bound the leather round and round ensuring This
would not allow The wood to split any further

Along the banks of the river
says to ALL: I breathed in slow... controlled... My
concentration fixed On what I was doing...I would Not allow My
thoughts to wander...I needed to be fixed to what I was doing
right this Minute...and didn't allow...nothing to filter into My
thoughts....a soft growl escaped my lips....one that let out
some built up frustration from inside.....it was not That
important but when I could focus on things other then me and
what surrounded me I was better... I could breathe.....when That
was done I pushed the Blade once again down the cuts till the
blade reached the binding...making sure both cuts were even and
in the right Place...
I placed the Spear down and sat on the rock and searched for two
smaller Twigs and cut them about the same size...making sure
they were long enough....with That I picked up the spear and
slid the twigs as far up as I could to the bindings...then
sliding the second down the slits the four parts spreading to
form the prongs for the spear....and making sure the lashing
held The small twigs in place.. and then secured it....I lay the
spear on my thigh as I looked to find My quiver....
I looked up the sound of The fish jumping out and landing in the
water with a small splash... I gave a slight smirk and continued
with what I was about to do.... slowly I ran the blade along the
spikes to make the pointed sharpening one at a time

Along the banks of the river
says to ALL: I stood looking Over the spear ..I had to
smile...was good to have something I now could use to gather the
fish...Next....I would need sort out The Ladies for the
Practice...
I lent the spear to The Tree and Gripped the hem Of My Kirtle
and Tied it up in a Knot.... Then Kicked Off My boots Then took
Up My spear and Moved down in to the water....
